I am a volunteer with the National Parks Service at Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial on South Bass Island in Lake Erie. I have been asked to get contact information for registered Native American organizations who may be interested in participating in our International Day of Peace September 21, 2012. We are primarily looking for Native American Drum and Dance performers.

I have tried to use the powwows.com register to contact individual groups in our area, but much of the contact information failed.

With the upcoming Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the Battle of Lake Erie in 2013, as well as our commitment to continued education of our visitors about the times and cultures of the early 1800’s there may be other opportunities in the future for us to contact you as well.

Please get back to me if you are interested with the name, phone and e-mail of the person we could speak with regarding this issue. Any information or links to Native American cultural performers would be greatly appreciated as well as an idea of costs/fee schedules.

My paternal grandmother, Sarah Alice Miller of Spring Arbor, Michigan, was descended from Michigan Cherokees, or so she said. She certainly carries Indian facial characteristics, high cheekbones and good nose, so I find it easy to believe she is of Indian blood. Why is there no Cherokee tribe in Michigan, I wonder.

PowWows.com is an online resource for Native Americans to stay in touch with each other and their roots, and for anyone to learn about Native American culture. Pow Wows are gatherings that bring together descendants of Native American Indians who have scattered all over North America, with extant Native American tribes, in celebrations that feature Native American music, dancing, and ancient, meaningful rituals. Those who are not descended from Native Americans are more than welcome to attend and watch, and even participate, given that they respect and follow the established rules and traditions of the Pow Wow. Visit PowWows.com to explore the many aspects of Native American culture, from Native American history to Native American art and music. Young Native American descendants, whether tribe members or not, can access information about available educational opportunities, including Native American scholarships to colleges and universities.
